Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:  

Today's image is named "Hidden Ghost Brots".  It is probably the first image in FOTD history where the objects that inspired the name do not actually appear in the image.  The 'Ghost 'Brots' lie in the black 'inside' areas.  When the image is rendered with the inside set to 'bof61', these open areas fill with detail filled in turn with well-defined minibrots.  Try it and see.

It's kind of hard to rate things that do not appear in an image, so I could give the image a rating no higher than a 7.  The calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes is right on the mark.

Today dawned damp and foggy here at Fractal Central, and stayed that way most all day.  The temperature of 48F +9C was well above normal, but with so much dampness in the air, it still felt chilly.  The fractal cat had his eye on the outside conditions that kept even the neighborhood stray cats in hiding.  The humans had a do-nothing day, spending more time than usual in front of the fractal TV.

The next FOTD will be posted in the right cosmic time.  Until then, take care, and solve the country's problems with your head, not your heart.
